Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Matt are back (sorry for the week off) to preview the now Josh Allen-less Wyoming Cowboys. The big questions for this Cowboys team is who will be the starting quarterback next year with the early leader being Tyler Vander Waal after spring football.

There is some decent experience back at most offensive positions but it was really bad experience. So, if the offense can be just about average the defense could carry the way for Wyoming.

The defense will be loaded with multiple first-team all-conference players and possibly an All-American in defensive back Andrew Wingard.

Jeremy and Eli are back to talk some Mountain West hoops and the NBA Draft. The two players who we discuss are Boise State's Chandler Hutchison who could be taken anywhere from 16-28. The other player we chat about is UNLV's Brandon McCoy.

McCoy has potential to have a solid NBA career but he slid quite a bit from being a projected lottery pick back in November to maybe not even being selected. Most mocks project him a late second round pick.

This team has a chance to take a huge step forward this year but the brutal October may make a possible seven or eight-win season seem just OK. 

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the Nevada Wolf Pack. This team has a lot of potential to score points but the big concern is the defense and if the changes they made will improve enough to get this team to at least bowl eligible.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the Utah State Aggies who have the potential to be in the upper part of the Mountain Division. This team returns all of its offensive line, most of the receiving group and quarterback Jordan Love is the guy.

Then on the defensive side of the ball, the Aggies do have a new coordinator but they return nine defensive starters.

Expectations are high for the Aggies this year and they just MIGHT challenge for the division title if things fall just right.

In the first of our non-conference previews we chat with Jake Kocorowski of Buckys 5th Quarter to get an early look at Wisconsin as they host the New Mexico Lobos on Sept. 8.

The Badgers offense is the star of the show as they return All-American running back Jonathan Taylor, most of an experienced offensive line, solid wide receivers and quarterback Austin Hornibrook.

That offense should have an easy time against the Lobos but the defense for the Badgers while talented needs to replace quite a bit from last year.

Jeremy and Eli are back to get caught up on the latest in Mountain West basketball. The NBA Draft deadline has come and gone and Nevada is getting back both the Martin twins, and San Diego State gets Jalen McDaniels back on its roster.

The two discuss if this Nevada team is the best one ever to come from the Mountain West. Short answer is a maybe.

Transfers are a big topic and we discuss the best who eligible and what Nevada will do now that they are still over the scholarship limit.

There is a debate for what team is the worst in the conference next year.

Next up in our Mountain West football preview is the Colorado State Rams who are entering a year of uncertainty in Mike Bobo's fourth year. Bobo has only one win against rivals, Boise State and bowl games, so this year could be a turning point.

The Rams have two new coordinators and starting quarterback Collin Hill is not likely to play next year as he tore his ACL in late February, his second in his career.

The running game will lead the way and the defense needs to improve to give this Colorado State team to challenge for a division title.

Jeremy and Matt start off their trudge toward the 2018 football season by starting our preview series with the New Mexico Lobos. There are a lot of questions with this team and it starts with head coach Bob Davie who is in a little bit of trouble as he was suspended for 30 days.

There is a new offensive coordinator in Calvin Magee from Arizona in a move to get the offense back on track. QB is not 100 percent certain and the running game needs some help, as does the defense.

Jeremy and Matt are back to discuss sports gambling now being an option in all 50 states, so we take a few prop bets and make some guesses from user-submitted comments on Twitter.

The bulk of the show has the two discussing what road trips they would like to take if traveling to a game each week was a real possibility.

We try to make sure to visit every school this year and also make very few repeat visits.
